If my recollection is correct, some of those who seemed to respond less favorably to Nardil following the 2003 formulation change, relative to how they responded prior to the change, tried taking abnormally high doses to see if such doses might prove to be as effective as the old version of Nardil without unacceptable side effects. I think I recall doses as high as 135 mg of Nardil being used. Even higher doses might have been used in some instances, but it's hard for me to remember if anyone tried 150 mg or more. To my knowledge, nobody stayed at the higher doses for an extended period of time. Probably, the higher doses either weren't significantly more effective than 90 mg or produced too many side effects for the individuals in question. So, to answer your question, I have not heard of anyone taking 135 mg or more of Nardil and noticing benefits that they didn't notice at lower doses. Maybe there's somebody out there who has heard of someone doing well on 135 mg or more of Nardil, but I can't say that I have.
For the most part, I'll leave your question concerning what you can take with Nardil to boost its effectiveness to those who have more knowledge than I do in the area of medication combos. I think that the add-ons (namely Deplin, Abilify, and Seroquel) that are used with first-line antidepressant treatments are most likely ok to take with Nardil, although my knowledge of drug interactions is limited. Others here may know more about other medications that shouldn't pose problems when taken with Nardil.
Well, I realize that my post may not have given you the answers that you're looking for, but I hope that somehow, you will get the answers that you seek.
Take care,
